How to upgrade your ugly Christmas sweater and make it party-ready

GET THE LOOK: 1- Topshop Christmas pom deer sweater
2- Monse leather-trimmed boyfriend jeans
* Monse ditched the idea of presenting its Fall ’18 collection on a typical runway, and instead shot a short film that starred the label’s muse, Erin Wasson, wandering the carnival of Coney Island after hours. These frayed boyfriend jeans are made from structured denim and turn to reveal a contrasting tan and black leather panel which reads «International Monse» – a print which was featured on a number of pieces.
3- Cult Gaia Luna lavender acrylic shoulder bag
* Cult Gaia first released its coveted ‘Luna’ bag in bamboo – it was such a hit the brand decided to do an acrylic version and the result is brighter and even more fun. This glossy lavender version has a lightweight cage-inspired design and is just big enough to hold your cell phone, lip gloss and cardholder. Loop the beaded strap around your wrist or detach it completely to carry as a clutch.
4- Cult Gaia Geneva oversized acrylic hoop earrings
* Cult Gaia might be best known for it’s influencer-approved ‘Ark’ bag but trust us when we say the label’s jewelry is just as good. These oversized ‘Geneva’ hoop earrings are made from lightweight lavender acrylic that’s slightly marbled. One’s dipped in orange at the end while the other is left plain.
5- Christian Louboutin 100 PVC-trimmed red mirrored-leather sandals
* Christian Louboutin’s ‘Jonatina 100’ sandals are shaded ‘Loubi’ to match the French designer’s iconic red soles. They have been made in Italy from striking mirrored-leather and trimmed with transparent PVC so the ankle strap appears to be floating. Wear them with your favorite LBD and a spritz of the brand’s ‘Trouble in Heaven’ perfume.
